DC and the Season Ticket Saga

[Inspector Lestrade]

"If you don't put money in, then you have no chance. You can't dream like some clubs do where they don't spend and have luck. We don't want to rely on luck. We don't just want to survive. We want to go up"

DC

 

[JOCOWl]

Trying to work out if he thinks the fans are loyal as can't see where he mentions it.... 

[Manwë]

Read an article on Yorkshire Live, Chansiri is doing it for all the right reasons.   He's doing it for the loyalist of fans of all who get the reward of frozen prices, instead of paying more later in 2022.

 

If people are less loyal than others, then I think it's perhaps right they get punished for it.  Time to hit those less loyal in the wallet.   No desperation from the club, just sound business judgement and a full understanding of the customer base, focusing especially those who are loyal.

Poor old Dejphon, eh?

 

He tries to do something nice for us customers and we throw it back in his face like the ungrateful sods that we are.

 

When will we start to recognise all that he's done for our club?

 

 

Seriously though, Holt makes a good point regarding the need for a PR advisor, but for me the key point is that Chansiri was told by others at the club what the reaction reaction would be, yet he ploughed on regardless.

 

And then I ask myself why...is he oblivious to their advice and believes he has a better understanding of the fanbase, or is there a part of him which actually wants to stoke supporters' ire so that he can play the wounded victim in the press again?

 

Because there's a definite pattern emerging here...

Its more or less "blaming the fans" in a roundabout sort of way...again

He can't justify a bloody price rise in this sodding division, whether we "Look like going up or not"

IF..He was "rewarding" loyal supporters he would do something about the "Loyal" supporters that are complaining about it!

Nah, he's doing it for himself "Loyal" supporters are simply a get out excuse

[vulva]

You could spin this in that he’s giving people who can afford it the opportunity to buy early, and cheaper. Not everyone lives hand to mouth, and for some this will be a drop in the ocean.  
 

One bit of information missing in all this is the date at which if you don’t renew, you lose your seat. 

[BIG D]

‘Done with good intentions’
My f**king backside. If that was true this would have happened in February at the earliest and kept in place until the end of the season not just for a week to pressurise fans a few days before the most expensive time of year.

What about the 'loyal fans' he's so keen to reward who won't be in a position to buy season tickets at four days' notice a few weeks before Christmas?

 

Or is it just the wealthier 'loyal fans' he wants to reward?

[MrsHall]

Done with total fkn incompetence. UTO.

[vulva]

Tbh, putting aside the hullabaloo, what with the credit on the account and the prices, I’d be daft not to renew. I’m having one anyway, so why not. It’s a PR own goal, but I can probably save c£100 all in. 

[asteener1867]

Anyone else know that 

"We haven't been a sustainable club in 150 years"

Limpin' along winning 4 league titles, 3 F.A cups, League cup and Charity shield???

I’m not defending him, but you don’t have to buy. Suppose you could argue he’s giving people the choice.

Point is mate....Its a bit wasted on you and me anyhow..We are gonna renew

Its not the current "Loyal" fans we need to attract, its the ones that have gone AWOL and the new ones that need the incentive

We've f.ookin' more or less had it

[asteener1867]

"The costs in league 1 are the same as the costs in The Championship"

"and if we go up to The Championship the costs will be more"

 

 

Errrr....

I think the fundamental bit some people are missing is that he isn’t saying renew now, or else lose your seat. We’ve got 13,000 that would renew if we were playing in the North East counties league. The spin on this is that he wants money through the door and those 13,000 have the opportunity to buy at a cheaper price. It’s one of those glass half full/empty conundrums. 
 

I do think it’s one of those DC initiatives that’s got shot down because it’s from DC. If he offered free beer at the match people would complain at the plastic glasses. 

[MrsHall]

I’m buying….but I do think this is a shtshow and the man is a tw4t. I just don’t understand why he could not have gone with the usual format with finance in place from the off?? What’s this guff about the necessity to increase the prices in the early New Year if we are playing well…..what the fk is the relevance of that???? He’s fkn mad. UTO.

Its the way the "Initiative" has been presented outta the blue..its like a dctat mate...Why not throw it out earlier, test the water?

It looks desperate, you already have worries over cash flow, players wages and another points deduction

after last year, its bound to looked at with a jaundiced eye

Oh if he's gonna charge as we play, like a price per performance..

I'm owed a reight f.ookin' refund on a countback to the sodding 70's!

He's giving those who can afford it at four days' notice in the run-up to Christmas the choice, yes.

 

And if not, best hope we're not doing too well in the new year, otherwise he's sticking the prices up.

 

If he really wants to reward the 'loyal fans', there are plenty of better ways than this latest scheme.
